Passivhaus Store :: Construction :: NBT Thermoplan System

NBT ThermoPlan® Thin Bed Insulating Solid Wall System is a honeycomb clay building block. It is faster and simpler to build with, and will out perform, other masonry systems and yet offers similar built costs (lower costs on larger builds). ThermoPlan® (known as Ziegel block on the continent) is proven over hundreds of years and many thousands of buildings.

• Very simple, quick and robust construction method. Typically a ThermoPlan® System build is 3 or 4 times as fast as other masonry systems - with less potential for problems.
   
• Excellent thermal insulation - good U-Values and very low psi (Y) Values allow ThermoPlan® System to perform incredibly well, with little other insulation required to achieve wall U-values needed to meet the Passivhaus standard.
   
• Good over heating control due to thermal mass of block.
   
• Simple route to good, long-lasting airtightness.
   
• Breathing construction - improving indoor air quality.
   
• Full system including all external and internal blocks, lintels, mortars, plasters, renders, fixings etc.
   
• MMC approved system.
